---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
![]() Sylas ![]() | Easy | 802 | 49% | +28 | -134 | The matchup against Sylas is defined by his E (Abduct). You can win trades with poke if you can either dodge the chain or cancel it with a well-timed Charm. If he lands it and gets on top of you, you will take significant damage. Be highly aware of his gank setup and be cautious of him using your own ultimate to chase you down after level 6. | |

![]() Syndra ![]() | Very Hard | 513 | 51% | -93 | -579 | Syndra is a potent early-game lane bully, but she is also highly susceptible to ganks. Use the movement speed from your W to help dodge her skillshots. Rushing Mercury's Treads is a strong defensive option to help you survive her burst. | |
![]() Orianna ![]() | Hard | 512 | 48% | -39 | -131 | This is an extremely challenging lane where you'll need assistance from your jungler and support to succeed. Concentrate on using your auto-attacks to gain control of the minion wave, which will limit her opportunities to harass you. As the game progresses, your waveclear will improve to the point where you can neutralize the matchup. | |
![]() Galio ![]() | Easy | 470 | 49% | +228 | +594 | Galio is very difficult to kill, but you can bully him before his first recall. After that, the lane becomes a waveclear contest, and the winner will be determined by who performs better in skirmishes around the map. | |
![]() Viktor ![]() | Hard | 436 | 53% | +105 | +114 | Viktor is a formidable laner, but you are more effective in 2v2s and skirmishes. Your focus should be on avoiding his trades and simply clearing the wave. Try to position the lane to set up ganks for your jungler. As you level up, your waveclear will become sufficient to neutralize the lane entirely. | |
![]() Akali ![]() | Not Favored | 393 | 45% | -153 | -586 | You really need to build a large lead pre-6 and do not let her scale for free. Take Aery and put extreme pressure on Akali every time she last hits a minion with auto W. If you think Akali is about to Q you back, cancel your auto and move back, you cannot lane pre-6 if you bait out her Q's like this. When Akali shrouds back off but be agro when its on CD. When Akali uses E, remember you'll always be able to land your charm on her recast before she gets E2 off. Post 6, expect Akali to do R > E1 when she fights instantly so you'll want to R away and dodge the E. | |
![]() Aurora ![]() | Even | 385 | 56% | -133 | -150 | This is a 1v1 skill matchup. Do your best to dodge her E and Q poke, particularly when you are going for CS. If you can successfully evade these abilities, you can regain control of the lane. Eventually, the lane will likely devolve into a waveclear contest where skirmishing ability decides the winner. | |
![]() Yasuo ![]() | Very Hard | 377 | 49% | -353 | -1010 | Yasuo is a strong laner but is also very susceptible to ganks. Avoid pushing the wave and try to keep it on your side of the lane. You should generally avoid direct 1v1 confrontations. Your strength in this matchup lies in your superior performance in teamfights. |
